agreed. but you can make TVabout Newspapers (What the papers say), Books (Late Review, booker prize). So what is the keything that TV has missed in making TV about the web?

it's revealing to look at the converseWhat good web stuff is their about TV? tv cream is fantastic. & it's not news, it's actually very much like much of current TV output: Nostalgic fact based entertainment with archive footage.

TV about newspapers and booksthough is about items that a huge number of people have or can go and consume/read/whatever.
Although people watching a program about the web can go follow up links, isn't always going to be about things a lot of people can't relate to yet?
In other words, web TV programs will work when the public knows more about the web...
Hmm, that doesn't really sound convincing.
Newspaper articles/columns about the web work - week in review columns are interesting to read and give an overview of general trends. Maybe that is what TV should pick up on... of course that would involve the people making the program understanding what the web is themselves :)
